PublicationTechnology assessment in a globalized world(Springer International Publishing, 2023)
;Hennen, Leonhard ;Hahn, Julia ;Ladikas, Miltos ;Peissl, WalterEst, Rinie vanThis open access book explores the relevance of the concept of technology assessment (TA) on an international and global level. Technologies play a key role in addressing global challenges such as climate change, population aging, digitization, and health. At the same time, their use increases the need for coordinated action and governance at the global level in the field of science, technology and innovation (STI). Featuring case studies on STI fields such as energy, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and health technology, as well as TA activities at the national and international levels, this book reflects on the challenges and opportunities of global technology governance. It also provides an in-depth discussion of current governmental STI cultures and systems, societal expectations, and the policy priorities needed to achieve coordinated and effective STI intervention in policymaking and public debate at the global level. Lastly, the book promotes the establishment of a forum for a truly global dialogue of TA practitioners, fostering the articulation of their needs, knowledge and perspectives. -
PublicationGesellschaftliche Transformationen. Gegenstand oder Aufgabe der Technikfolgenabschätzung?(Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft, 2021)
;Decker, Michael ;Ehrensperger, Elisabeth ;Lingner, Stephan ;Scherz, ConstanzeSotoudeh, MahshidDer intensiv diskutierte Begriff Transformation bezeichnet den umfassenden Umbau gesellschaftlicher Strukturen, um gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen durch tiefgreifende Veränderungen der Energie-, Verkehrs-, Produktions- und Agrarsysteme zu adressieren. Da solch komplexe Transformationen stets mit Unsicherheiten über Effekte und Folgen einhergehen, setzen sich die Beiträge kritisch mit den Chancen und Risiken dieser Prozesse auseinander und diskutieren Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Technikfolgenabschätzung im Kontext gesellschaftlicher Transformationsprozesse. Der Band versammelt die wissenschaftlichen Beiträge der 8. internationalen Konferenz des Netzwerks Technikfolgenabschätzung, die vom 7. bis 8. November 2018 in Karlsruhe stattfand. -
PublicationEuropean e-democracy in practice(Springer Nature, 2019)
;Hennen, Leonhard ;Keulen, Ira van ;Korthagen, Iris ;Aichholzer, GeorgNielsen, Rasmus O.This open access book explores how digital tools and social media technologies can contribute to better participation and involvement of EU citizens in European politics. By analyzing selected representative e-participation projects at the local, national and European governmental levels, it identifies the preconditions, best practices and shortcomings of e-participation practices in connection with EU decision-making procedures and institutions. The book features case studies on parliamentary monitoring, e-voting practices, and e-publics, and offers recommendations for improving the integration of e-democracy in European politics and governance. Accordingly, it will appeal to scholars as well as practitioners interested in identifying suitable e-participation tools for European institutions and thus helps to reduce the EU's current democratic deficit. -

PublicationNavigating towards shared responsibility in research and innovation(Fraunhofer ISI, 2016)
;Kuhlmann, Stefan ;Randles, Sally ;Gorgoni, Guido ;Griessler, Erich ;Loconto, AllisonMejlgaard, Niels -
PublicationElectronic democracy in EuropeThis edited book is the first of its kind to systematically address the intersection of e-democracy and European politics. It contributes to an improved understanding of the role that new media technologies play in European politics and the potential impact that Internet-based political participation processes may have on modern-day representative democracy in Europe. A unique, holistic approach is taken to examine e-democracy's current state and prospects in Europe from three, partially overlapping and interlocking perspectives: e-public, e-participation and e-voting. The authors provide both theory-inspired reflections on e-democracy's contribution to the formation of the European public sphere, as well as rich empirical analyses of contemporary e-participation phenomena such as the European Citizens' Initiative or e-voting practices in Estonia. Based on the presented findings, the concluding chapter combines a prospective outlook with recommendations for future paths towards meaningful integration of e-democracy in European politics and governance.
